I really enjoyed therapy with Susan. She is smart, warm, engaging and seems knowledgeable. I'm looking forward to working with her and understanding the benefits of CBT. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Susan takes a tactic based approach to handling folks with ADHD. She provides tools (worksheets, articles, and helpful videos) for those who need more than just conversational therapy. I've never had a provider understand my needs like that before. I always looks forward to chatting with her and she's helped me so much.
